We'd like to introduce ourlselves, we are Rick Redington & The Luv.
Saying that once upon a time, we sat for years looking into the deeper most regions of laughing notes, fumbling harmonies, and chordal chaos, would perhaps invite the keen interest of anyone coming upon our band web sight. Perhaps we did, perhaps we didn't. Only you can ponder......
We hale from the mountains of Vermont, drive a 1970 Flxible Tour Bus, called The Luv Bus and play original roots & folk rock americana grooves.
We've recorded with legends Jorma Kaukonen & Jack Casady of Jefferson Airplane, Buddy Cage & David Nelson of New Riders of The Purple Sage. We've shared the stage with legends Ritchie Havens, The Wailers, The Samples, Cake, Warren Haynes & Govt. Mule, Joe Walsh, to name a few.
The Green Mountains of Vermont welcomes this band of gypsy souls home from the adventures of travelling near & far, from Burlington's Lake Champlain to Rochester's Seasoned Books & Bakery, to NYC & The Baggot & Maine's Sunday River, to West Virginia's Horse Farms & Michigan's Dunes, all the way to Nino's in Ohio, home of buckeyes & fiery women.
We like to play music. In particular, we like to play Rick's tunes, and we like to honor & respect all of our inspirations, with our own unique offerings of interpretation.
MTV writer, director and founder of New York Aids Film Festival and President of Girl Behind The Camera, Suzanne Africa Engo adds, "My favorite Folk-Abilly-Rasta-Jam-Rock band in the world is headed by the one and only RICK REDINGTON, his music touches my soul, and lives in my hair... I am taken to a new place every single time I hear him open his lovely mouth to sing. I adore him and that band of his is world class. LUV!LUV!" ..
Catch the Bus & catch some sweet tunes. We are Rick Redington & The Luv, Spreadin The Luv One Show At A Time. Check us out, & get on the Bus.

Hey thanks for letting me know! I really like the track Friend of the Devil you sound great and it was nice to hear my Dad on steel; I miss him. Did he tell you that I can lend a hand with your website and even your myspace page? I graduate next month with my degree in Digital Media and I have experience working with bands. I wouldn't charge anything because it would be something to add to my portfolio. Anyhow, if you are interested in me redoing any of your sites let me know I will have some free time on my hands after graduation before the summer semester starts.
You ROCK! Thanks for being a friend and for all your hard work. Hope to see you at the 2nd annual Utica Music and Arts Fest. Over 200 performers in over 15 venues for 3 DAYS! Including a kick-off party on the Adirondack Scenic Railroad, Utica Tattoo Fest and the Utica Greens Fest!
Visit our site for more info and performer submissions. Have a great day!

Sneak Preview for Last Call
Claire and I have returned from our 3 months EU& UK tour. So, I just posted a note about what's going on with The Bowmans on facebook... and then I started writing a mass email... and then I decided against it... so I'm doing this instead. (begging) Will you visit my profile page to help me spread the word, pretty please??? We have a sneak preview of the new album (Produced by Malcolm Burn, Mastered by Greg Calbi) up for 5 days only… and it can be bought within the next 5 days only!
I moved out to San Francisco, and I miss seeing and hearing you guys... I hope you make it out west! if not I hope i can see you in the Rutland area when I come home for the holidays.
"Vt. music spirit alive and well" Artistry and community take precedence over profit at year's festivals October 2, 2008
By CLARA ROSE THORNTON, Herald Correspondent
"An intricate trellis bent into an archway shimmers with strings of lights against a dusky, late summer backdrop.
Stepping beyond this — through what feels like a portal, protecting some sacred secret within — a bouncing playground of sounds and sensations emerges. Children spin hula hoops in front of a stage wafting tinkling guitar sounds into the evening. Adults line up with plates at an overwhelming organic buffet. Musicians laugh over cups of lager in an outdoor bar constructed of wood and draped with colorful tapestries. There is a feeling of camaraderie. There is an air of creativity. There is a whisper of endless summer.
Am I vicariously living through one of my parents' acid flashbacks, one may ask? Am I describing some sort of Human Be-In where Allen Ginsberg's ghost is about to roam through, banging a gong and looking on approvingly?
The truth is better than fiction. I'm describing Harvest Moon, an annual music festival tucked away in Middletown Springs that is very representative of the vibrancy of Vermont's festival scene. Harvest Moon has been put on, out-of-pocket, for the past eight years by couple Tom Moon and Corey Best..."
